March 7 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Join the Portsmouth Historical Society as we celebrate Founders Day on March 7th from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Friends Church.
Witness history firsthand as the town’s founding document, the Portsmouth Compact from 1638, arrives under police escort from the Rhode Island State Archives. This year marks Portsmouth’s 387th birthday, and we invite you to join us for a short ceremony, followed by tours of Friends Church.
Replicas of the Portsmouth Compact will be available for purchase at the event.
Come honor the legacy of Portsmouth and connect with its rich history—we look forward to celebrating with you!
